Editorial Reviews

After examining Northern Storm Rising, I can see why the name of Rhodes' ministry is Reasoning from the Scriptures. Dr. Ron Rhodes does just that in his latest volume, where he calmly and cogently gives a forceful telling of how the modern world and the ancient Word are in each other's embrace in this interesting hour. I am pleased to commend Northern Storm Rising. I find his reader friendly volume helpful, both personally and professionally: personally, it helps me to see Word and world events more clearly; professionally, the fact that Dr. Rhodes labors to integrate worthy source material as he goes, and carefully documents his so doing, enables me to utilize his insights with more confidence, and for this I am pleased.  --Dr. Jeffrey Seif, Zola Levitt Ministries

This was the first book I ever read on biblical prophecy, I was afraid it would be too in-depth to understand. However, right from the opening chapter I was fuly engaged and able to understand concepts that were new to me. Ron Rhodes explains clearly and biblically the situation in the Middle East. I could barely put the book down.

Rhodes' detailing of the coming storm is very helpful. It puts the developing news of today and the hidden forces at play together with scripture. The storm is coming and knowledge of these events can only bolster faith in the God of the Bible who is in control.

While this book is heavy reading, the author handles a scary topic with in a positive manner. Rhodes is definitely easy to read. Especially good were his chapters on nuclear war and interpreting Ezekiel. This book is actually centered on the prophesies of Ezekiel and the author goes into Ezekiel 38-39 and explores this text's Bible prophecy as it relates to end times.This book will be especially enjoyed by those who follow end-time prophesy. It gives a different perspective than most.
